Mr. Snuffleupagus is real and he has a wife!!!

Mr.& Mrs. Snuffleupagus are real. Contrary to popular belief they are not my imaginary friends! This past week I received a beautiful gift from them. It came in a rather large box which I noticed on the side of our house after coming home from work. It was addressed to Mike and I waited maybe thirty sconds before asking him if I could open it.
The moment he said Yes...

POOF!!

Like a miracle, it was open. That is just how fast I open gifts now.

NO CONTROL!!!

Inside the rather large box was a Fishkar's Quilt & Sewing Kit. It contained rotary scissors, blades for paper cutting, pinking shears, a template, "Snails Trail" pattern & instructions, and an organizer insert. All of this, inside a cute "looks like a suitcase" case. I was besides myself. Mike was ecstatic, the thought that I might just get rid of another cluttering box was just too much for him to handle! Mr. & Mrs. Snuffleupagus knew I desperately needed some order in my quilting life. I already filled it, and organized what I could, but there is much too be done:)

For those of you that may not remember or were born before they appeared on Sesame Street, here is a little history about them. I found this tidbit on a Sesame Street Fan Club website.

Mr. Aloysius Snuffleupagus is one of the Muppet characters on the long-running educational television program for young children, Sesame Street. He resembles a wooly mammoth, without tusks, and he is a friend of Big Bird. He attends Snufflegarten and has a baby sister named Alice.

For many years, Big Bird was the only character on the show who saw him (he only came along when Big Bird was alone). The other characters teased Big Bird when he said he had seen the Snuffleupagus, because they didn't believe there was such an animal, often despite evidence to the contrary (such as an oversized teddy bear that Snuffy had left behind). This was modeled in part on the imaginary friends some young children have.

Hey, Big Bird, I believe you!!

Mr. Snuffleupagus does exist and he has a wife!!!

I tried to find a photo that I could attach but everything is copy-righted or not downloadable.

In addition to the beautiful gift, Mr & Mrs. Snuffy contributed to our 100 Good Wishes Quilt and provided us with four really nice parenting books.

Thank you Mr & Mrs. Snuffy!!


More to follow.... Lets hope I get a digital camera soon, not posting photos is killing me!
